UTI’s
Been to see the midwife today and they have found blood and proteins in my sample. Sending off to labs but this is the 6th UTI in 17 weeks!!!
It doesn’t seem to be going away and I don’t get where it’s coming from. I’m usually so careful with everything.
Is this bad? I have read a few places that it can cause issues.

Hey I’ve gone through periods of reoccurring UTIs. Drink plenty water and if they give you antibiotics make sure you drink an actimel a day to help prevent thrush. It can be common In pregnancy because of bladder changes from where the baby is. Ask them to send a more specialist urine sample as it could be someone else causing it ?. Good luck x
I have had this too! Cranberry juice was recommended to me to flush it out.

It can be bad if left untreated. I was like that with my first born, I felt like I was forever on antibiotics for this and then had thrush from the antibiotics and then back to UTI! It was a vicious cycle!!!! Once they give you antibiotics you MUST take probiotics with them too. Which they don’t prescribe but they sell them over the counter and they have some specifically for pregnant women. Another thing you MUST drink plenty of water, cranberry juice is good too. Minimum 3 litres a day So unpleasant but it’s one of those things x
